Authenticating with a certificate

G'day Twisted list,

I'm brand new to Twisted, and I'm trying to wrap my head
around writing a client that authenticates with a certificate.
I have a PFX file, and a small Perl script that I can use
to download content, but I don't seem to be able to replicate
this on other machines.  I'd like to replace the whole mess
with a more robust Python solution.

My communication with the server needs to look like this:

----------------------------------------------------------------

ME: https://www.example.com/AUTHURL
              |
              +--------------------> SERVER: (Authenticated)
                                                      |
ME: https://www.example.com/FETCHCONTENT <------------+
              |
              +--------------------> SERVER: (XML content)
                                                      |
ME: https://www.example.com/ACKNOWLEDGE <-------------+
              |
              +--------------------> SERVER: (acknowledged)
                                                      |
ME: https://www.example.com/LOGOUT <------------------+
              |
              +--------------------> SERVER: (logout)

----------------------------------------------------------------

I'm working from the O'Reilly Twisted book, and trying to
reconcile that with the API and the examples on the Twisted
site, but I'm not sure I'm finding what I need.  Can anyone
give me any pointers on how to proceed?  Thanks muchly.
